Tikka is a popular dish in Indian cuisine, typically made with marinated pieces of meat, such as chicken or lamb, that are skewered and cooked in a tandoor, which is a traditional clay oven. The marinade usually consists of yogurt and a blend of spices, giving the meat a rich flavor and tender texture. Tikka can also be made with vegetables or paneer, a type of Indian cheese, making it suitable for vegetarians. The term "tikka" can also refer to a style of cooking where the meat is cut into small pieces, allowing for quick cooking and enhanced flavor absorption. It is often served with various accompaniments, such as naan bread or chutney, and is a popular choice in many Indian restaurants around the world.
